Icicle Mansion, Part Deux

January 31st, 2009 · 4 Comments

We have gotten even more snow and ice and stuff. Yuk. As a Floridian (heehee), I am repelled. However, I am also morbidly fascinated by the large icicles hanging off my house. I did at one point attempt to knock them down, but the evil little buggers just fell into a [...]

Because You Want to Know…

But, even more amusing is what I looked like the morning after Clam and Canuck’s wedding! Because I went to bed with all that hairspray and curls and stuff and slept on it! Then, WENT TO MASS! In PUBLIC! Bwhahahahahah!

Yes, these [...]

What Happened to My Prayer?!?!

January 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Okay, I know it’s icy out there and the roads are horrible. My car seems to think it would be a great idea if it were, say, a sled. I seem to slide all the time. Which, at near-highway speeds, is not always a good thing (is it ever?).
So, I do a [...]

Great Weekend!

January 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Sorry if this post is incoherent.  Not much sleep this weekend, but it was so much fun!  :)
First, the Priests vs. Seminarians game on Friday.  I arrived early and got to tag along on a tour of the Sacred Heart by Jonathan the Seminarian. 

The game was good, and although the “official” score was 73-73,

that was [...]

Priests Rock!!

January 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Tomorrow evening is the Priests vs. Seminarians basketball game at Sacred Heart Major Seminary!
Obviously, I’ve already chosen which side I’m rooting for! :)

Sorry, seminarians, but the ordinati have my heart! :)
And, I’m just all excited about that T-shirt. There is something most appropriate about a Latin-language smack-down. :)
If you can make [...]

The site is [...]
